Electric scooter manufacturer Yadea has launched a new handy, lightweight, and low-cost e-scooter. The Yadea KS3 electric scooter is a clear departure from the heavier and more expensive e-scooters that the company had been producing before now. These include the Yadea KS5 and K35 Pro e-scooters.

The Yadea KS3 is a scaled-down version of the more expensive, powerful, and heavier Yadea e-scooters. It is designed for riders who need to carry it by hand when they reach their destination, hence no fear of lack of parking space and theft. It is a foldable scooter weighing just under 15kg with a carrying capacity of about 100kg. It can reach a top speed of 25km/h and has a 500W rear motor providing the needed power.

The Yadea KS3 e-scooter is priced at $569 and can be gotten via Amazon. The KS3 competes favorably with the e-scooters within its price range. It also boasts of some added features that will draw further attention to it. The Yadea KS3 has a front suspension which helps to smoothen the ride, especially in undulating and rough surfaces. The 8.5×2.4-inch tires do not need to be inflated and remove the possibility of having a flat tire. The tires have a minimum wear capacity of about 5,000km. With a stated range of 30km on a single charge, the tires could last more than 150 full charges spanning several years.

The front drum brake is also an innovative feature in the KS3. The drum brake is maintenance-free and is sealed to better protect it from contamination and damage from the road and the weather elements. The brake drums do not fade under wet conditions; likewise, the rear brake is durable and maintenance-free. The rear brake will charge the battery momentarily during braking while on a commute.

The Yadea KS3 is less expensive than its faster predecessors but is a great vehicle for those needing a handy e-scooter with impressive features for quick commutes.
